Flower Wreath

I started out drawing an intricate little flower wreath with delicate blossoms, long stamens and pretty curly leaves, but half way through I had to rush to finish and ended up scribbling in the last few flowers for the sake of placement. When I came back to the drawing I was quite surprised to see that the scribbly flowers actually looked much better than those I had so carefully drawn... isn't it always the way?

This image actually comes in a set of eleven files. You get the coloured version, as shown below (but without the watermark), plus ten black and white line drawings. The first line drawing is the basic image, but the other nine have sentiments in the centre. As you can see from Sue's and Viv's images there's a card for every occasion - Thank You, Happy Birthday, Best Wishes, For You, Get Well, Missing You, On Your Special Day, Sympathy and Thinking of You. That about covers it, don't you think?

Sue made this beautiful birthday card (above) in various shades of blue and white. She coloured two of the Happy Birthday images, then cut out the flowes from one and adhered them to the other with foam tape giving her card an extra dimension. She also created a lovely little set of Thank You note cards (below).
